Testimonials

"I have suffered chronic nightmares ever since I was a child and have tried a number of things to stop them. I stumbled upon Jungian Psychology a year or so ago and that’s how I found Dean on the internet. Dean knows his stuff and after 3 sessions I started having less nightmares and I also started having some normal dreams that Dean interpreted and helped me understand that they were part of the process of stopping my nightmares. I really recommend Dean for anyone who is having nightmares."

"I have never dreamed too much but I suddenly started having the same nightmare every week or two. I started worrying more and more about it and I started waking up a lot in my sleep. I don’t really understand how Dean interprets nightmares, but he made sense of this nightmare to my personal life in a way that is pretty mind boggling to me. I had 3 sessions with Dean and I am happy to say I no longer have that same nightmare and have started to have other dreams that aren't dark. I will see Dean in the future so he can help me understand them."

"In my late 40s I started experiencing quite regular nightmares. I’ve also had insomnia on and off since my 20s. Dean has been great! He helped me understand that my nightmares were connected to my troubled teenage years. I can confidently say that now 3 months after first meeting Dean, my nightmares are very infrequent and my insomnia has improved a lot. I still have work to do on my past, but I’m much more hopeful now that I will be able to be a normal sleeper in the future."

"When I first started seeing Dean about my nightmares, he told me my nightmares were at the chronic level and it was as severe as he had seen. In a way that made me feel a bit better because I knew then it couldn’t get much worse. I was experiencing multiple nightmares most nights. I would wake pouring with sweat and thrashing around in my bed. I know my physical and mental health have taken a real hit from my nightmares.

Dean is not only really knowledgeable about nightmares, but he is a really compassionate and thoughtful person. My personal history has been very difficult for me to talk about, but Dean created a space where I was able to open up about my past. Surprising to me, this had an almost immediate effect on reducing my nightmares. As I’m writing this testimonial, over the last four months I have only had two nightmares and they were not severe ones. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Dean for anyone wanting to get over their nightmares."

"I am very happy to recommend Dean as a counsellor. Last year I was experiencing burnout from my work and private circumstances. My sleep began to suffer and I also started to have some pretty awful dreams. Dean is very knowledgeable when it comes to dreams and psychology. I didn’t really want to think I needed a kind of spiritual counsellor, but in the end that’s exactly what I needed. Working with Dean I soon discovered I was experiencing what can only be called an existential crisis and Dean is very capable in this space. My sleep is getting much better now and I’m having some interesting dreams which Dean is helping me with."

"I have read Carl Jung on and off for most of my adult years. My dreams have always interested me, but I have never really taken them that seriously. I finally decided to see an expert in Jungian dream interpretation. Dean, even in the first session started making sense of my dreams beyond what I really thought was possible. I’m a little sad it took me so long to see a dream expert, but I am really enthusiastic now about working with my dreams "
